Voluntary Groups and Community Centres

Contribution

I will start with mental health support. Too many people still struggle in silence, and early support in a trusted local setting can make a massive difference. In my constituency, the Jackson Hope Foundation, Harmony Counselling and the Shed on the Isle do vital work in that area. They create spaces where people can talk openly, get support and feel less alone. They show what community-based mental health support looks like at its best: rooted locally, shaped by lived experience and available in a way that feels human and accessible.
